Chapter Twenty-One

I’d like to say I managed to stay away from thematic song choices on the road trip. However, it wasn’t long before the vamps convinced me to attempt “Bat Out of Hell” by Meatloaf. I wasn’t sure if they made the request because they knew I could shift into a bat or because Alice could. Either way, It could have been worse. They could have asked for the Batman theme song. Nothing would disrespect my voice more than da-na-na-na-na-na BATMAN! And I wasn’t a batman, anyway. I was a batwoman! Hear me shriek!

Speaking of bats, we arrived at the cave in southern Missouri shortly before sunrise. Traveling with vampires is tricky. One oddity about the bus was all the windows had been painted black. It made for a strange trip. It’s a bit unsettling riding in a vehicle when you don’t have any windows to look through. The only one that worked was the windshield. Still, since Alice was the only one who was properly licensed to drive a bus, and the sun would soon blast through the windshield, we needed to stop for the day. That, or allow Devin to drive the rest of the way.

Yeah, he didn’t have a commercial driver’s license.

Breaking the law. Breaking the law.

Thank you, Judas Priest. Insufficient licensing, though, probably wasn’t what the heavy metal rocker had in mind. According to Rob Halford, the frontman for Judas Priest, the only actual crime he’d ever committed was indecent exposure. He said as much in his autobiography. Still, I found a public striptease to the tune of “Breaking the Law” mildly unsettling, if not humorous.

We decided to quell our rebellious urges. Since we weren’t meeting the other vampires Mercy had attempted to recruit for another day, though, we figured we’d just take the day to introduce the vampires we’d gathered to the hillbilly vamps.

The New Orleans vamps weren’t likely to take a liking to Leeroy’s blood beans. We were all even less impressed by the blood bean farts pouring out of the cave. You didn’t need my enhanced sense of smell to pick that stench up. That odor had the range of a skunk’s spray, and it was twice as rank.

A skunk doesn’t know its own scent. Apparently, Leeroy and the hillbilly vamps didn’t either.

As we entered the cave, Alice paused. “You three might want to go back to the van.”

“Why?” I asked.

Alice winced. “Call it a hunch. They’re preparing for a battle. That means, more than likely, they’re feeding.”

I exchanged glances with Devin and Malinda. “Well, we don’t exactly have a place we could go. And since we aren’t really supposed to drive the bus without the right license what else are we going to do?”

Alice shook her head. “Why don’t you guys work on that potion? See if you can refine it a bit, come up with something that won’t require a thousand vampires feeding off a handful of elementals.”

Hailey stopped in her tracks. “Well, if we’re going to do that, I’ll need to take cover in the back of the bus.
